Information graphics (or infographics) are graphical depictions of data and information. By presenting information in a compact and creative approach, infographics are able to quickly convey knowledge and engage its viewers.

These are great. I really enjoyed the variety and creative approach to the info graphics. It’s rare that I have to do anything like this, but the next time I do I’m going to definitely use some of these for inspiration.

Nice post, thanks for sharing! Good to see creative displays of data! As a note for some, on image 12, when you download the image via directly clicking it saves it as “Periodic_Table_of_Typefaces_large.jpg.jpg” and needs the extra .jpg stripped off in order to be viewed. Doing Save Picture As / Save Image As works fine.

I love the illustrated coffee drinks! I’m forever looking at menus in cafés and thinking, how the hell do you pronounce that? So I always go for something I can say! Starbucks is the worse, they’re menu changes every time I go, but their drinks are so nice!

Awesome Roundup! I love Infographics …. especially the ones that come in food magazines. They review a new place and showcase a centerfold of hand drawn map of that place with visual pointers “Wine Glasses for Wineries”, “Forks & spoons for Cafes”, “Ornate French Number Signs for Bed & Breakfasts” so on and so forth …. :-)

Strange. I though most of these did not fit the description “By presenting information in a compact approach, infographics are able to quickly convey knowledge…”. The coffee one (no. 1) was pretty quick to convey information, but the other ones? For example, the “Who’s coming to America” (no. 20): What does the graphic do? The bars there doesn’t help at all to compare the countries without looking at the numbers on the bar. As far as I can tell, the coutries aren’t ranked in any other way. And why are the “other countries” not divided into bars like the rest; it stretches over four bars in width with no space? Also, the bars leaves out much of the information that’s listed next to the flags. A good designed table would much quicker convery this information and make comparising easier. And there are also a number of graphs that could convey the same information much better.

So, artistic and creative? Yes, maybe. But conveying information quickly in a compact way? Not so much. In my opinion.
